Most traders use price charts to make decisions.


The ones who outperform also use sentiment charts.
This is the CMC Fear and Greed Index mapped against Bitcoin price across three full years.
The relationship is consistent enough to be a strategy on its own.
When the index hits Extreme Fear and $BTC is down 30% or more from its high, that is historically not a sell signal. That is an accumulation window.
When the index hits Extreme Greed, and BTC is making new highs with retail FOMO everywhere, that is historically not a buy signal. That is a distribution window.
Right now, the index sits at 55. Neutral. Coming off multiple Extreme Fear readings in late 2025.
We are in the early recovery phase of the sentiment cycle. Not the top. Not the bottom. The transition.
The transition is where positions are built before the next leg is obvious to everyone.
BTC-1,3%
